Won't play vs. Tennessee
Hughes (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Hughes returned from injured reserve Week 10, and over his last two games he registered three tackles (two solo) while playing 25 snaps on defense. He'll be a healthy scratch for Sunday's AFC South clash, and his next chance to suit up will be Week 13 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Dec. 1. Derek Barnett and Denico Autry will be the Texans' rotational defensive ends for Week 12 behind starters Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter.

After nine seasons in Buffalo and 12 in the NFL, Hughes signed on to be a veteran presence on the rebuilding Texans. At 34 and with his peak years behind him, Hughes dabbled in the fountain of youth and recorded nine sacks, the most since the 10 quarterback takedowns he had in 2014. The foreboding dark cloud to the season was that he had just one sack over the final eight games, which suggests his advanced years are a factor. He'll be 35 when the regular season drops and will be hard pressed to repeat last season's performance. Hughes could be productive as a part-time contributor, along with Jonathan Greenard, and benefit from the presence of third-overall pick in the 2023 Draft, edge rusher Will Anderson.
